Vegan Revolution With Zombies

There’s something odd and unique about how vegans and zombies go together in pop culture.

Moby hypothesized that zombies turn down vegans and head straight for the buffet to eat slower, fatter, meat-eating humans. Tainted meat led to the zombie-like creatures Woody Harrelson ran from in Zombieland. And now, a novel playing on the potential atrocities of genetically modified food, Vegan Revolution With Zombies, turns unsuspecting humans who think they’ve found the solution to cruelty-free meat into brain-dead carnivores.

A miracle drug has been created so that pigs, cows, chickens and other animals no longer feel pain when slaughtered. The side effect of this drug, however, is that once it enters the food supply, anyone who eats the contaminated food is transformed into a zombie!

Vegans, raw foodies and food activists set up a fort at Food Fight!, a premier vegan grocery store in Portland, Oregon that exists in real life to prepare themselves for the battle against those infected.

Author David Agranoff has been involved with animal rights and environmental causes for two decades (he spent 80 days in jail after refusing to testify in a case involving a grand jury that illegally targeted people who attended an activist’s lecture). Introduced to veganism and animal rights through straight-edge musicians and a visit to a Farm Sanctuary and drawn to horror fantasy after the death of his mother, Agranoff says his book will appeal to vegs and non-vegs.

“I feel it’s important to say that I think this book has a lot to offer non-vegans and non-horror fans,” Agranoff said in an interview with Planet Green. “Of course I wrote it, so I also feel it makes a great Hanukah or Kwanza gift. You don’t need to be vegan to enjoy it. There are some inside jokes that might go over the heads of non-animal rights people but I think the book still works for everybody.”
